if a edit maker redoes their edits to take advantage of the new ten slots will my subscription just redownload the new version? i havent really noticed anyone making changes to their edits that I can see in the actual game so far.

Subscription updates should be automatic, that's why they're subscriptions.

This... could be dangerous. With three slots I was basically making priorities "try to do a pin when this happens". Now, you can't quite chain together all the specific moves there are, but you can actually say "Try to get the opponent on the ground with this, then do this." I have yet to use all the slots but it's nice to know they're there.

Random select is what i've wanted for 1 v 1 but it auto fills 8 characters, unless I'm doing something wrong. And it still doesn't re-populate when you press it again (for battle royals). Maybe the next patch will fix that....

The problem that exists right now is that the annualization of WWE games has rendered the game more and more unstable as they have little time to fix issues. At this point the smart thing to do would be to make a new WWE game every 2 years, and just release a $30 DLC pack on the off years that adds more wrestlers/rings/arenas/moves/etc. to the existing game. The problem of course being since there is no real competition for WWE games, there doesn't seem to be a real impetus to get better. This does not, however, explain how NBA 2K18 remains stable and playable (despite microtransaction poo poo) because they are in the same boat, an annualized sports series with no competition.

Until 2K farts out a WWE game that is as broken on launch as Assassin's Creed: Unity, I don't think this will change any time soon unfortunately.

I imagine (aka no stats and too lazy to look it up) that the NBA game moves a lot more copies than WWE.

They should just have two teams doing two games that alternate each year. Do the 2K style simulation game and follow it up with an Arcade game like WWE Allstars. Each game can have DLC each year that adds new wrestlers to the roster

The funny this, looking at who's new to the game this year (47 people), if they charged 10 dollars for say, a pack of 5 wrestlers, that'd be 90 dollars they'd make without having to make a new game this year.

Take-Two has said that NBA 2K17 sold 8.5M units back in August 2017, with 4.5M shipped through October 2016. In September, it beat out Madden 17, FIFA 17, and NHL 17 as a top selling game in the US according to NPD.

It's hard to find WWE 2K numbers since they don't exactly brag about them, but VG Chartz (I know...) puts each game in the series between 2.25M - 2.75M.

"I'm willing to pay up to $1200 for a big anime titty"


There are a couple things I'm actually interested in (the squash match option, the different match lengths, Community Creations which always surprises me with how good it is, the "harder AI" that everyone thinks is a thing on launch day before they learn the new reversal timing) but yeah, you're just talking about touchups on a ten year old game.

My guess is this: because wrestling is fake and the pacing of a wrestling video game is all wacky, the online PVP (where the real money is) will always suck rear end compared to real fighters, FIFA or NBA 2K, and it's a smaller property anyway, so why bother.

I'll probably end up buying it for PC, especially since I can get the DLC and stuff like intergender hacked in by someone who probably has a username similar to xXxWWExSLAYERxXx, but it is what it is
